A new swine cholera infection was confirmed at the hog farm in Honjo City, Saitama Prefecture. According to the prefecture, on the 10th, “Multiple pigs were dead” was contacted. In other words, the infection of swine cholera was confirmed.

This pig farm was monitored within 10 km of a place in Gunma Prefecture where pig cholera was confirmed from wild boars this month.

Porcine cholera does not infect humans and eating pork has no effect, but pigs and wild boars can cause symptoms such as diarrhea and high fever, and often die within a few days.

This is the third case in Saitama where pig infection has been confirmed, and the prefecture is raised in another pig farm in Kamikawa, which is managed by the same owner as the pigs raised in this pig farm. Thorough measures are taken to prevent the spread of infection, including disposal of over 2000 pigs in total.
